Pete Ross and Susy Sapphire’s affair initiated in 2009 whilst Pete was touring troubadour style, acoustic guitar in hand. They immediately formed a songwriting partnership that has seen 3 albums released to date. Susy as the intuitive wordsmith, and Pete, the ever weilding axeman.
In 2013 they made their first recording, based upon a dark and deadly trilogy the album combined stories of misfortune, disbelief and regret. The same year also saw the release of the rockaby/anti-lullaby 7” single ‘Mockingbird/Down to the Woods’.

The Italian rock-wave band Hikobusha presents their third official album, out on November 15, 2014 via Seahorse Recordings in collaboration with Motherfuckart Prod. Eleven evocative songs that see the participation of international guests such as Hugo Race (The Wreckery, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds).Hikobusha is the mispronunciation of a Japanese word (hibakusha), which occurs in the books of Kenzaburo Oe. It means “survivor” and was coined after World War II to refer to the survivors of the disaster of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hikobusha was founded in 2005, with a mixture of rock, indie wave and electronic music, combined with Italian lyrics and texts about disillusionment and social criticism.
